Pause. Inhale. Exhale. Let's take a moment to give World Mental Health Day the respect it deserves??? Today is an important reminder to prioritize mental health. But the need continues year-round, and at Loka we answer the call by giving our people every other Friday off. We call it 5/4 Fridays, and it adds up to 26 additional days of a year. Lokals spend their 5/4 Fridays however they want--personal projects, family time, outdoors... the choice is theirs. And the results benefit everyone. After almost three years (!) since launching 5/4 Fridays, we've demonstrated that building a recurring recharge into our schedule directly translate to happier, healthier, more eager and more engaged people. We also include wellness check-ins, workshops and support groups. We encourage any business to give it a try. Learn more about our radical approach to wellness in our original launch article >>> https://lnkd.in/gNQtfEzi Here's to 365 days of mental wellness--starting with tomorrow's 5/4 Friday! #LifeatLoka #WorldMentalHealthDay #RadicalBenefits #MentalHealth

Conversation over dinner just hits different??? Last night Loka and Amazon Web Services (AWS) hosted an executive dinner for SaaS and ISVs at Lamb’s Club in New York. The setting was intimate, the mood collaborative and the company impressive. On the menu: GenAI. Loka's Emily Kruger spotlighted how GenAI can help speed innovation in SaaS companies, including frameworks for building a successful GenAI use case.?AWS’s Akshay Patel refuted overheated claims that GenAI will kill SaaS: SaaS is more than architecture, he said, as it elevates LOBs with the best business model. GenAI adds fuel to that model. That kind of perspective-shifting insight only comes from experience. We left the night with a mutual understanding of our customers’ goals and a better sense of our partners as avid, committed leaders in cutting-edge software development. Cheers to that??? Thx to David Bissainthe, Olivier Bissainthe, Ellis Wong and Christopher Yeung for attending and to?Laura Su, Chinar Patel, Justin J. Leto, PE, MBA, PMP, Vaibhav Sabharwal and Franck Noel of AWS for hosting alongside Loka’s?Emily Kruger, Joe Whitehouse and Sushmitha Regulapati. #GenAI #AWS #SaaS #ISV #TechOverDinner

Looking for an inside track to capturing investor attention? Loka’s GenAI experts can help ?? Cortado, a startup disrupting the property-management status quo, came to Loka to implement GenAI into their platform and secure additional investment. ???Together Loka and Cortado launched a design sprint, prototyping a variety of viable GenAI solutions. From there we developed a fully functioning MVP: an AI Copilot that automated 90% of in-app messaging, plus an interface to visually represent it. ???Maintaining user trust in these automated systems is essential, so the Copilot intelligently diverts urgent matters to human assistants. With these new assets, Cortado co-founders Harry Dubke and Perry Griffith reported a 700% (??) increase in investor inquiries. Best of all, Amazon Web Services (AWS) generously funded part of the project cost. By empowering property managers with GenAI, Loka is helping set a new standard for intelligent rental management—and the right people are taking notice. What can we do for your business?
